1 Da Isak var blitt gammel, og hans øine var blitt sløve, så han ikke kunde se, kalte han til sig Esau, sin eldste sønn, og sa til ham: Min sønn! Han svarte: Ja, her er jeg.

2 Da sa han: Jeg er blitt gammel og vet ikke hvad dag jeg skal dø.

3 Så ta nu dine jaktredskaper, ditt kogger og din bue, og gå ut på marken og skyt mig noget vilt,

4 og lag en velsmakende rett for mig, slik som jeg liker det, og kom så hit med den! Da vil jeg ete, så min sjel kan velsigne dig, før jeg dør.

5 Men ebekka hørte på at Isak talte til Esau, sin sønn. Så gikk Esau ut på marken for å skyte noget vilt og ha det med sig hjem.

6 Da sa ebekka til Jakob, sin sønn: Jeg hørte din far tale til Esau, din bror, og si:

7 Hent mig noget vilt og lag en velsmakende rett for mig, så jeg kan ete av den og velsigne dig for Herrens åsyn, før jeg dør.

8 Lyd nu mitt ord, min sønn, og gjør det jeg byder dig:

9 Gå bort til hjorden og hent mig derfra to gode kje, så skal jeg lage en velsmakende rett av dem for din far, slik som han liker det.

10 Og du skal gå inn med den til din far, så han kan ete av den og velsigne dig, før han dør.

11 Da sa Jakob til ebekka, sin mor: Esau, min bror, er jo lodden, og jeg er glatt.

12 Kanskje min far kjenner på mig og så tror at jeg vil ha ham til narr, og jeg kommer til å føre en forbannelse over mig og ikke en velsignelse.

13 Da sa hans mor til ham: Den forbannelse skal jeg ta på mig min sønn! Bare lyd mitt råd og gå og hent mig kjeene!

14 Da gikk han og hentet dem og kom til sin mor med dem, og hans mor laget en velsmakende rett, slik som hans far likte det.

15 Så tok ebekka sin eldste sønn Esaus høitidsklær, som hun hadde hos sig i huset, og hun lot Jakob, sin yngste sønn, ta dem på.

16 Men skinnene av kjeene hadde hun om hans hender og om den glatte del av hans hals.

17 Så lot hun sin sønn Jakob få den velsmakende rett og brødet som hun hadde laget,

18 og han gikk inn til sin far og sa: far! Han svarte: Ja, her er jeg; hvem er du, min sønn?

19 Da sa Jakob til sin far: Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte; jeg har gjort som du sa til mig. Sett dig nu op og et av mitt vilt, så din sjel kan velsigne mig!

20 Men Isak sa til sin sønn: Hvorledes har du da så snart kunnet finne noget, min sønn? Han, svarte: Herren din Gud sendte mig det i møte.

21 Da sa Isak til Jakob: Kom hit og la mig få kjenne på dig, min sønn, om du er min sønn Esau, eller ikke.

22 Så gikk Jakob frem til Isak, sin far; og han kjente på ham og sa: østen er Jakobs, men hendene er Esaus.

23 Og han kjente ham ikke, fordi hans hender var lodne som hans bror Esaus hender; og han velsignet ham.

24 Og han sa: Er du virkelig min sønn Esau? Han svarte: Ja, det er jeg.

25 Da sa han: Kom hit med det til mig og la mig få ete av min sønns vilt, så min sjel kan velsigne dig. Så satte han det frem for ham, og han åt, og han kom med vin til ham, og han drakk.

26 sa Isak, hans far, til ham: Kom nu hit og kyss mig, min sønn!

27 Da gikk han frem og kysset ham; og han kjente lukten av hans klær og velsignet ham og sa: Se, duften av min sønn er som duften av en mark som Herren har velsignet.

28 gi Gud dig av himmelens dugg og av jordens fedme og korn og most i overflod.

29 Folk skal tjene dig, og folkeslag skal falle dig til fote; vær herre over dine brødre, og måtte din mors sønner falle dig til fote! Forbannet være den som forbanner dig, og velsignet den som velsigner dig!

30 Men da Isak hadde endt sin velsignelse over Jakob, og Jakob nettop var gått ut fra Isak, sin far, da kom Esau, hans bror, hjem fra jakten.

31 Han laget også en velsmakende rett og bar den inn til sin far; og han sa til sin far: Vil ikke far reise sig op og ete av sin sønns vilt, så din sjel kan velsigne mig!

32 Og Isak, hans far, spurte ham: Hvem er du? Han svarte: Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte sønn.

33 Da blev Isak overmåte forferdet, og han sa: Hvem var det da som hadde skutt noget vilt og kom til mig med det? Jeg åt av alt, før du kom, og velsignet ham! Han skal også være velsignet.

34 Da Esau hørte disse ord av sin far, satte han i et høit og sårt skrik, og han sa til sin far: Velsign også mig, min far!

35 Men han sa: Din bror kom med list og tok din velsignelse.

36 Da sa han: Er det fordi han har fått navnet Jakob, at han nu to ganger har overlistet mig? Min førstefødselsrett tok han, og se, nu har han tatt min velsignelse. Så sa han: Har du ikke en velsignelse igjen til mig og?

37 Isak svarte og sa til Esau: Se, jeg har satt ham til herre over dig, og alle hans brødre har jeg gjort til hans tjenere, og jeg har gitt ham korn og most i overflod; hvad skal jeg da gjøre for dig, min sønn?

38 Og Esau sa til sin far: Har du da bare denne ene velsignelse, min far? Velsign også mig, min far! Og Esau gråt høit.

39 Da tok Isak, hans far, til orde igjen og sa til ham: Se, uten jordens fedme skal din bolig være og uten himmelens dugg fra oven.

40 Av ditt sverd skal du leve, og din bror skal du tjene; men når du engang river dig løs, da skal du bryte hans åk av din nakke.

41 Og Esau hatet Jakob for den velsignelse som hans far hadde lyst over ham. Og Esau sa ved sig selv: Snart kommer den tid da vi må sørge over min far; da skal jeg slå Jakob, min bror, ihjel.

42 Og ebekka fikk vite hvad Esau, hennes eldste sønn, hadde sagt; da sendte hun bud efter Jakob, sin yngste sønn, og sa til ham: Se, Esau, din bror, vil hevne sig på dig og slå dig ihjel.

43 Lyd nu mitt ord, min sønn: Gjør dig ferdig og flykt til min bror Laban i Karan,

44 og bli hos ham en tid, til din brors vrede har lagt sig,

45 til din brors vrede har vendt sig fra dig, og han har glemt det du har gjort mot ham! Da skal jeg sende bud og hente dig derfra. Hvorfor skulde jeg miste eder begge på én dag!

46 sa ebekka til Isak: Jeg er kjed av mitt liv for disse Hets døtres skyld; skulde nu også Jakob ta sig en hustru av Hets døtre, slik en som disse, en av landets døtre, hvad skulde jeg da leve efter?

3605. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him. That this signifies that natural good was averse to the inverted conjunction of truth is evident from the signification of “hating” as here in the internal sense being to be averse to, which is the subject treated of in what follows; and from the representation of Esau, as being natural good; and of Jacob as being natural truth (concerning which above); and from the signification of a “blessing” as being conjunction (see n. 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584); that here it is an inverted conjunction of truth which is represented by Jacob is evident from what was said and shown above (n. 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563, 3570, 3576, 3603).

[2] That in the internal sense “to hate” denotes to be averse to is because it is predicated of good, which is represented by Esau, and good does not even know what hatred is, being the direct opposite thereof, and opposites are never possible in the same subject; but instead of hatred, good, or they who are in good, feel a kind of aversion; hence it is that “hatred” here in the internal sense denotes to be averse to; for the internal sense is principally for those who are in heaven, wherefore when it descends thence, and is derived into the literal sense, then, the historicals being of this nature, the affection of aversion falls into the expression “hatred,” but yet in such a way that with those who are in heaven there is no idea of hatred. This case is like that which was related from experience in volume 1875 (see n. 1875), concerning the words in the Lord’s prayer, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”; in that temptation and evil are rejected until what is purely angelic, that is, good, remains without any idea of temptation and of evil, and this with the adjunction of a species of indignation and aversion, in regard to evil being thought of when the Lord is thought of.

[3] The case is the same when we read in the Word concerning Jehovah or the Lord “hating.” As in Zechariah:

Let none of you think evil in your heart of his neighbor; and love no lying oath; for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah (Zech. 8:17).

In Moses:

Thou shalt not set thee up a pillar, which Jehovah thy God hateth (Deuteronomy 16:22).

In Jeremiah:

Mine heritage is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; she hath uttered her voice against Me, therefore I have hated her (Jeremiah 12:8).

In Hosea:

In Gilgal I hated them; because of the wickedness of their works I will drive them out of Mine house; I will love them no more (Hos. 9:15).

In these passages “hatred,” predicated of Jehovah or the Lord, in the internal sense is not hatred, but mercy, for the Divine is mercy; but when this flows in with a man who is in evil, and he runs into the penalty of evil, it then appears as hatred and because it so appears, in the sense of the letter it is likewise so called.

[4] It is in the same way that “anger,” “wrath,” and “fury” are in the Word predicated of Jehovah or the Lord (concerning which, n. 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1683, 1874, 2395, 2447, 3235). Above all other peoples the Jewish and Israelitish people were such that as soon as they observed anything unfriendly, even in their associates, they believed it lawful to treat them cruelly, and not only to kill them, but also to expose them to wild beasts and birds; and therefore because the inflowing mercy of the Lord was turned with them into such hatred, not only against their enemies, but also against their companions, they could not believe otherwise than that Jehovah also entertained hatred, was angry, wrathful, and furious, and for this reason it is so expressed in the Word according to the appearance; for such as is a man’s quality, such the Lord appears to him (see n. 1838, 1861, 2706). But what the quality of hatred is with those who are in love and charity, that is, who are in good, is evident from the words of the Lord in Matthew:

Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that injure and persecute you, that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens (Matthew 5:43-45).

3563. And said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. That this signifies that in this case the intellectual part is of truth which is within, but that the will part is of good which is without, thus that they are of inverted order, is evident from the predication of “voice” as being of truth, and from the predication of “hand” as being of good (that “voice” is predicated of truth is evident from what was adduced in Part First,n. 219-220); and from its being said, “the voice is Jacob’s voice,” by whom is represented natural truth, as has been repeatedly shown above. And the reason why “hand” is predicated of good is that by “hand” is signified power and faculty (n. 878, 3541), which is derived from no other source than good, all the power and faculty of truth being therefrom, although it appears to be from truth; the same is evident also from its being said, “the hands are the hands of Esau,” by whom good is represented, as also has been shown above. That these things are of inverted order is evident from the fact that it is according to order for good which is of the will to be within, and for truth which is of the understanding to be without. However, as before said, these things are such that they cannot be so well set forth to the apprehension, because few are in any knowledge concerning such things; for even if they should be most clearly set forth, yet when knowledge is wanting they are not apprehended and yet it is necessary to state how the case is, because this is the subject here treated of.

[2] The good of the natural comes forth from no other source in man than interior good, that is, from the good of the rational; that the natural has good from no other source is evident; but the influx causes the good in the natural to be such as the natural is; and as this is the only source of the good of the natural, the truth of the natural is from the same source; for where good is, there is truth, both being necessary in order that there may be anything; but the influx causes the truth therein to be such as is that into which it flows. The influx takes place in this way: The good of the rational flows into the natural in two ways; through the shortest way, into the good itself of the natural, thus immediately; and through the good of the natural into the truth there; this good and this truth are what is represented by Esau and his hunting. The good of the rational also flows into the natural by a way less short, namely, through the truth of the rational, and by this influx forms something like good, but it is truth.

[3] It is according to order that the good of the rational should inflow into the good of the natural and at the same time into its truth, immediately; and also through the truth, of the rational into the good of the natural, thus mediately; and in like manner into the truth of the natural both immediately and mediately; and when this is the case, then the influx is according to order. Such influx exists with those who have been regenerated; but as before said there is another influx before they have been regenerated, namely, that the good of the rational does not flow immediately into the good of the natural, but mediately through the truth of the rational, and thus presents something like good in the natural, but which is not genuine good, and consequently not genuine truth; yet it is such that inmostly it really has good from the influx through the truth of the rational; but no further. Therefore also good comes forth there under another form, namely, outwardly like the good which is represented by Esau, but inwardly like the truth which is represented by Jacob; and as this is not according to order, it is said to be of inverted order; but yet in respect to the fact that man can be regenerated in no other way, it is according to order.

[4] I am aware that these things, even though clearly stated, and consequently possible of clear perception on the part of those who are in the knowledge of such things, are yet obscure to those who do not know what influx is; and still more so to those who do not know that the rational is distinct from the natural; and still more so to those who have not any distinct idea about good and truth. But what the quality of natural good is, and of natural truth, in the state previous to regeneration, can appear solely from the affections at that time. When man is affected with truth, not for the sake of ends of life, but for the sake of other ends, such as that he may become learned, and this from a certain affection of emulation, or from a certain affection of childish envy, and also from a certain affection of glory; then are the good of the natural and the truth of the natural in such an order as is here represented by Jacob, consequently relatively to each other they are in inverted order; that is, the will part which is of good is without, and the intellectual part which is of truth is within.

[5] But in the state after regeneration it is otherwise; for then man is not only affected with truth for the sake of ends of life, but still more is he affected with the good itself of life; and the former affections, namely those of emulation, of childish envy, and of glory, separate themselves, and this until it appears as if they were dissipated; for then the good which is of the will is within, and the truth which is of the understanding is without; yet still in such a manner that truth acts as a one with good, because from good. This order is genuine; and the former order tends to the forming of this order, inasmuch as the will part, which is then without, admits many things that are serviceable to regeneration, and is like a sponge that absorbs both clear and muddy waters; thus also it admits things that would otherwise be rejected, which yet serve as means, and also for forming ideas about goods and truths, and for other uses.
